slow shutter speed

For this photographs I used the same mattered to take it, except this time i also used fire cracker.

#Final outcome

Light trail photography

A technique sometimes used for showing movement in photography is light trails. This is where the shutter is left open for a relatively long period of time and a light is moved around within the frame of the photograph. Where the light has been a trail is left, this is sometimes called light painting. It is a technique that I have used before and have utilised in other projects. It is this that have given me the interest to explore it further and combine it with this project for showing movement.

#Creating photographs with lights.

After getting the settings right I got some images that I am very happy with. To get the subjects in the right place I opened the shutter on about a 10 exposure then moved over to fire the flash manually when the subject was in the correct position.

Francesca Woodman’s photographs

I used long exposure and available lights for this shoot and i wanted to capture lots of different movements as much as possible. 

#Contactsheets

I set my camera up on a tripod with a wide angle lens. There is vignetting around the edge of the shot as the camera that I used has a full frame sensor and the lens is not compatible with this. I could have cropped this to give me the same size image that I would have got from a cropped sensor camera, however I like the way it looks. It reminds me of an eye, being circular and this fits with the idea of us seeing more than just a single image that a photographs captures.

For this photographs I stud still while I was moving my hand around to get images with blurred motion that requires slow shutter speed.

#PhotoShopp

Using Photoshop I have combined my photographs to make one single image that tells the story of what I saw as the rider rode past me. I found that I didn’t need all of the photographs that I had taken however. There were quite a few that over lapped which made the editing harder and the image look too busy. Being selective over the photos that I have used has ensured all the key moments are there and it is still easy to understand.

fast shutter speed

For this photographs me and my friends setup the Uni’s studio to experiment with fast shutter speed. the object we use were eggs.

Team work did:  two of my friends did the egg smashing, one was on the camera, I mostly was the assistance and I did a bit of directing.
